"Load bearing" carabiners are commonly used in both the sailing
and rock climbing industries. These "real" carabiners are made from
aluminum rod or forged steel shaped around a spring loaded gate.
Traditionally made in both D and oval shapes, today carabiners can be
found in a variety of sizes and basic shapes. Their functionality stems
from the gate mechanism which opens with pressure and springs closed
when released allowing carabiners to hold and be attached to various
objects.
This article is concerned not with the load bearing
variety of carabiners, but with the much smaller "replica" or
"promotional" carabiners used primarily as keychains. Promotional
carabiners are about 1/3 the size of "real" carabiners and are no load
bearing and not for climbing. They function in a similar way to their
load bearing cousins. By way of the spring loaded gate they can be
easily clipped to most straps and loops creating a very convenient way
to carry k

Custom water bottles are the perfect promotional giveaway items
for your company. By giving away reusable water containers you are
making a statement about sustainability and consumer responsibility by
promoting an environmentally friendly alternative to buying prepackaged
bottled water. Customized containers that hold water which comes in
bottles made out of polyethylene terephthalate, high density
polyethylene plastic, and polycarbonate plastic. The consumption of
water around the world doubled between the years 1997 to 2005, leaving
billions of empty bottles to be thrown away. By reusing your custom
bottles, your clients will be lessening their impact on landfills across
the country while promoting your business.
In addition to cutting
down on wasted polyethylene terephthalate or PET bottles, your
customers will be able to avoid the effects of drinking purified water

What we need in our lives is more eco friendly water bottles, and
less of the disposable ones that have become so popular. Not enough
people recycle the plastic water bottles that they pick up from every
grocery and convenience store across the country. This is leading to a
buildup of these plastic bottles in our landfills that is reaching
astronomical proportions.
The reason that so many have made the
switch to drinking from these prepackaged containers is that the state
of our tap water system has gotten so bad, that there is no denying that
it is no longer safe for us to drink from it. This is why it was easy
for the slick marketing representatives at the bottling facilities to
convince us that their products were the way to go.
One of the
reasons that I say that we should simply consider using more eco
friendly water bottles is that in all honesty, the prepackaged water
that we are drinking may not b

The pen is an essential writing instrument that has become
indispensable for the contemporary world. There are many types
available; the ever-available ball point pen, the roller ball point, the
fountain pen, and the felt-tip pen. This important writing instrument
has been around for thousands of years, starting with the quill pen made
from bird feathers dipped in ink, to the reed pen or bamboo pen, with
its slight and tapered tip. Over time, technology has helped create more
functional versions, which do not require elaborate rituals of using.
According
to history, the ancient Indians were the first ones to use rudimentary
pens made from bamboo sticks and bird feathers from India. In the 500
BC, these type of pens were used to write the text in the old literature
of Puranas. Mahabharta and Ramayana. Some of the Dead Sea scrolls
discovered used quill pens.
With the invention of the personal
computer with keyboard input methods have rev

Christmas is one of the best holidays to maximize your
advertising needs. The season of giving will not only make you more
generous when it comes to giving promotional goods but it will also make
your recipients more grateful in receiving your gifts.
However,
it can also be a tough time for any advertiser. With the piles of gifts
that a customer receives not only from other companies but also from
family and friends, it would be hard for them to determine which one
came from you. The trick here is making yours more noticeable than the
rest. Here are some tips:
1. Keep it colourful. Make your package
stand out. A lot of packages over the Christmas holidays are usually
wrapped in red and green wrapping. So choose other colours such as
bright blue, hot pink and even silvery white. Anything that will look
different from the rest. If you can catch your customers attention with
your gifts wrapping, you are halfway there.
2. Keep it
